Then I hide them away in the fridge to keep them nice and forget until they are small shriveled things (the best - much worse when they just tuwn into lumpy watery mush). <BR/><BR/>My drawings should be so "angry" - looks good to me! I agree with bad faery: more energy than anger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700412250463044349.post-21729391870380607652007-10-08T13:43:00.000+02:002007-10-08T13:43:00.000+02:00Thanks for your very stimulating comments, I feel ...Thanks for your very stimulating comments, I feel this is going very well, everyone looking forward to the drawings of everyone:) I love that. <BR/>Suki, my dad painted very thoroughly, "formal" things, I loved that but always preferred to experiment more. Artist as he was, he never tried to make a living with it but had to quit school early in life and make a living with jobs he liked but did not love. Well, like lots of us;)<BR/>But he always kept on drawing and painting in his spare time.<BR/>I'll have to take a closer look at the Fayums yet, it seems so fascinating!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602563148936673366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700412250463044349.post-78807418611271752512007-10-08T01:07:00.000+02:002007-10-08T01:07:00.000+02:00The fennel is marvelous.

My cats like little handmade miceif they have catnip. Someone sent them little plastic balls with bells and they don't like those at all.<BR/><BR/>Even though the 4 broken needles is sad, frustrating--the rest of your stories were so amusing. Gave insight into your life.<BR/><BR/>You say your dad was a drawer and painter. Wow. How inspiring to have an artist in your family growing up. But also maybe daunting a bit, always trying to "live up to" his work perhaps. I didnt know any artists as a kid and wished I had even then.<BR/><BR/>Love it that the ram came from Paula Modersohn-Becker territory. You mentioned she was influenced by the Fayoum Portraits. I'd forgotten that. But the ONE folder I brought with me with art articles torn from magazines in it has both a P. Modersohn-becker article AND an article on the Fayoum portraits in it.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700412250463044349.post-88278754874741126562007-10-07T23:24:00.000+02:002007-10-07T23:24:00.000+02:00I love your drawings, the energy in the vegetables...I love your drawings, the energy in the vegetables, the sensitivity towards the 'pets'. You are very expressive with your drawing.<BR/><BR/>4 needles... goodness me!

You all are so kind about my drawings but I would dearly love to do what you do. quick sketching and it look like what I was looking at.<BR/>I guess I better start practicing and if it doesnt look like something keep trying. <BR/>Good job with all you went through too.<BR/>Thanks for the inspiration.<BR/>CrisCris, Artist in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067969984221375853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700412250463044349.post-56656629638284304042007-10-07T19:24:00.000+02:002007-10-07T19:24:00.000+02:00Four broken needles and an angry sound in the sewi...Four broken needles and an angry sound in the sewing machine...OY!<BR/>I understand the frustration of the machine not doing your bidding. I wrote several blog posts about it myself recently.<BR/><BR/>The ram is great. I love long horned rams. Saw them walk by my car in So.Dakota! Awesome animals. Your tiny drawing did them justice.<BR/><BR/>I like the leaning lamp too. It has character, life.<BR/><BR/>Your fabric work is terrific.
